The Iowa Hawkeyes took to San Diego to face the USC Trojans in the Holiday Bowl and came out victorious, 49-24. The score we all expected, right? This is Iowa’s third straight bowl win, and ends Iowa’s season with a 10-3 record.
This win was for Hayden Fry. The bowl was a favorite of the legendary head coach, who passed away December 17, and led the Hawkeyes to the Holiday Bowl three times in his tenure and is also a member of the Holiday Bowl Hall of Fame. You have to imagine he’s smiling from up above about this one.
